James,

The Trump administration has been building its attacks on public media in
a way we’ve NEVER seen before in America.

after Trump targets funding'

Destroying PBS and NPR is central to Trump’s terrifying, anti-democratic
power grab. That’s why Trump signed an executive order to END federal
funding to the broadcasters just a few days ago.

Trump is trying to do it all on his own, but the law requires
Congressional action. That’s why Trump is still pushing for his loyalists
in the House and Senate to strip $1 billion from public media. PBS and NPR
are incredibly popular, and some Republicans are wavering on this drastic
funding cut. We’ve got to keep up the pressure right now and save public
journalism.

Trump has spent years ramping up his smear campaign against PBS and NPR.
And since January 20th, Trump, Musk, and Marjorie Taylor Greene have
launched spurious federal investigations, held sham committee hearings,
and led a dedicated disinformation campaign against public broadcasters.

Why? Because extreme right-wing media allies will gain even more influence
if Trump succeeds.

Trump recently called NPR and PBS “radical left monsters” and
“propaganda.” The White House followed up with an official release calling
them “trash.”

Trump is trying to single-handedly shut down PBS and NPR even though he
doesn’t have the legal authority to do it alone. At least two Republicans
in Congress have expressed concerns about defunding popular public media
outlets, so we can still stop these cuts.

We have fought these attacks every step of the way with our Citizen Action
Team of 57,000+ strong making our voices heard in the halls of Congress,
in the streets, and in the media. We need to add to the wave of opposition
and let our lawmakers know they MUST oppose cuts to public media.

from Trump’s drastic cuts? It’s a critical time to ramp up the pressure
and save public journalism from the Trump administration!
